~the Mechanic~ Poem by E Nigma

~the Mechanic~

Rating: 5.0


Where you'll stand
Is where she sits
Everywhere betweens the creator
Building anticipation

Precisions in the planning
There's a perfect motivation
Where motive stands to reason
There's a seasoned infatuation

So carefully craft the scenario
Cultivate those recited lines
Coordinate a fashion statement that's
Conspicuously flashy yet refined

Sifting through the trash for clues
Perplexed are these puzzling pieces
The wise man follows the stars sign
Brilliant light illuminates a darkened sight

To narrow down the scope of things
You see her smile, her voice sings
Her scents enchanting, her tastes alluring
Everything screams she's perfectly annoying

When things seem too good to be true
You retrace your steps
Taking in the scene out of view
Watching while waiting until you see it

She's as devious as she is deadly
The harmony to your melody
You know many things about her
But she knows so much more

So the means to an end
Was from the very beginning
You're standing where she sits
With an elaborate way just to say hello

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Story: A mechanic is the perfect hit man. Anyone can kill, but not anyone can kill in such a manner that it is ruled out as an accident every time.

A woman has an assistant hire out a mechanic that is up for retirement. This woman has had her eye on him for sometime. The meeting takes place through a middle man that she knows he works with. The woman has her assistant make her the target and In the process of the mechanic learning as much as he can about her habits, friends and associates, tastes in fashion, food and music down to the very last detail
she is profiling him in the very same manner until she decides she has all the information she needs.

She then proceeds to cancel the hit making sure everyone is paid in full while passing along the info that there was a very grave mistake. The mechanic now perplexed by the situation finds himself very intrigued by who this woman is.

He decides to meet her at a small diner where she has breakfast every morning. From the very beginning they hit things off very well so much so that his intrigue mixed together with his cautious nature causes him to dig deeper than he ever has and in the process finds that she had planned everything from the beginning using his obsessive compulsive nature and deep fascination with mystery to orchestrate the situation which was his very first hello. What follows is a mutual respect in a complexly humorous relationship.
